Gone Fishin'

We went fishing last week up at Yankee Meadow. It was very pretty up there. We didn't catch any cause the wind was blowing real bad. But we sure had a good time, & as you can see Paisley only came for the food!

Disneyland

I can't beleive its almost July already. Summer time just goes by way to fast. Our first fun trip this summer was to Disneyland, I'm not sure who was more excited Luke or Blake. I think maybe Luke! We are so glad that our freinds Dayna, Jeremy & Damian were able to come with us. & of course we had to make it to a Dodgers game. We had a great week, but we sure did miss Paisley. She got to stay & play with Grannie Carrie again.

Brother baby

Straight from his lips
Blake: Mom we need the last baby.
Me: what do you mean?
Blake: when Paisley is grown up like me, we need a brother baby.But I don't know his name!
Me: are you sure?
Blake: ya

Although we would love to have like 10 more, its hard to know what to do. There's a chance of having another baby early, & though we love Pais to death, it would be unbearable to go through that again. I guess time will tell!

Another one bites the dust..

This is the 4th time I have chopped my hair off for Locks of Love. I think she said it was 9 inches or more. I forgot the before picture, but here are the results. It feels so nice, hopefully it will be a sign of warmer weather! A girl can dream.

Happy Birthday Blake!!

We had a super hero birthday party on Saturday, we had quite the group of friends. We were having so much fun that these are the only pictures we got. Our good friend Mandy made this cake for Blake. It was so yummy,He loved it.

We did a little treasure hunt in the backyard & the kids got to decorate some bags.

Blake is such a great little man & the best big brother. He was born @ 8:26pm, weighing 8lbs 7oz & 20 inches long. Before he was born we had decided to have his middle name be Mckay after Grandpa Mckay Erickson. Well my due date was April17th & it came & went & no baby, I was induced @ 11am on the 19th, which (by no coincidence) happens to be Grandpa Mckay birthday. We are so glad that Blake shares his birthday with such a great man!!

Sick of it!!

Here is a look at what the bells palsy effects. When she sleeps the other eye does close, thankfully. She has been through so much, yet still gives us some smiles.
No, she didn't break her arm. When she got RSV, she was also throwin up, so she had to go in daily to get fluids through an IV. They left the IV port in for a week & they did this so she would not pull it out.

I love this picture, she just has the cutes expression! & you can see just how small she really is. Which is only 13 1/2 lbs @ 15months old.

These two are only 2 weeks apart. They are good friends, her & her family moved in the neighborhood same time we did. We have alot of fun when we get together.

We are so sick of being sick. We have been sick since the 2nd week in February! Really not exaggerating. First Pais got RSV, she actually did okay with it. It lasted almost 2 weeks. Then we got a cold. After that came the stomach bug. Then another cold. Last but not least Pais has bells palsy, she woke up last Friday with green puss draining out her ear & we took her to the DR's & we noticed the right side of her face wasn't moving. We went to the hospital to get a CT scan to check her brain activity & see if the infection was in the bone or muscle. Both were good, so the palsy should go away. How long we don't know. So that has been our crappy 2 months!

Here's are girl with her sad face.

This time last year we had to leave our little girl at the hospital. I REMEMBER feeling my heart break into a million pieces as we drove away from the hospital. I REMEMBER crying & wanting to turn right around & go back, at the same time wanting to go & be with Blake. Even though I was only 20 minutes away it felt like I was going to another country. I had to trust strangers to take care of my little one. Don't get me wrong I would not have wanted her to be in any other hospital, it's just she's mine & should be with me! I am so grateful for a wonderful aunt who let us take over her home for the next 3 months. I REMEMBER going to wal-mart & getting a few things we needed. Sitting there waiting by the registers I REMEMBER it was like in the movies when the character looks out & everything is a blur. I felt different. In the hospital everyone knew what had happened & here no one knew. Its funny I REMEMBER when I had Blake my mom bought me new pj's & when we were at wal-mart she bought me comfy clothes to wear while I healed. It wasn't a big thing, but it meant ALOT. THANKS MOM
